RE: Rebarreled a Savage on my lunch break
that does sound like a slam dunk... I've always wondered why you couldn't have a switch-barrel rifle on a Savage action... sort of like changing barrels on a Dan Wesson handgun.. you could keep the headspace gauges in the guncase with the extra barrels...I suppose you could even make a witness mark on the barrel and receiver for each barrel, might even get by without needing the gauges. Who made the barrel, was it Adams and Bennet?
I've rebarrelled two mausers with A&B barrels.. my 35 Whelen shoots pretty good, so far. I'm trying to decide what caliber will be next.
